When will Apple’s fall special event take place? According to unnamed sources speaking to the Wall Street Journal, it will take place on September 12:

Apple Inc. has scheduled a product announcement event on Sept. 12, according to people briefed on its plans, reinforcing expectations that the technology giant will release new iPhones and a smartwatch well ahead of the holiday shopping season.

Sources say Apple will debut three new iPhones, along with a “showcase iPhone” to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the device, which will have a larger screen, facial recognition technology and be more expensive. Last year’s iPhone 7 models are expected to get updates as well.

I”m not sure how this “watch with LTE capabilities is going to work. Do a lot of people buy the Apple watch and not the iPhone? I don’t see the mobile companies letting you hook up a watch unless there is a monthly fee, and even $5 a month is $60 a year. Furthermore, the daily roaming fees would get tacked on if you left the country too. I understand the watches currently can latch on to some wi fi hot spots, but I never see when it is doing that, if it does..

I’ll be watching. I’ve got a regular iPhone 7 and I’m going to see if I’ll continue my every other year purchase of a new iPhone or go for the 8.

Miss the time when an iPhone was expensive at 500$ and my plan was 50$/month… This iPhone 8, if the rumors turns out to be true, will be more than 600$ on subsidy with a 80$+/month plan…

Same for macs, I paid my 512GB SSD macbook pro in 2014 for 1500$, now the similar is 2500 and up…
